"Abbu and Drudru have excelled since their departure. The association relied on imports who have now left and this has created a big vacuum.

"Together with Bakelevu Moceimereke, we are trying to build a solid foundation. Although we have lost five games, we will not hit the panic button. I can assure the fans that this team will not be relegated to the premier division.

"The losses are nothing compared to the title drought in the last five years. We are trying to boost the squad in this new transfer window.

"Already Poasa and Eran are back. Zibraaz Sahib and Arvindra Naidu's suspensions have been lifted. We are grateful to former vice president Abdul Khaiyum Rafiq for his continued support. He also came to the change room to give a pep talk to the boys during one of our games. This is the kind of support that we need."
